Title: Device to detect seat belt buckle status
Inventor: PATEL ASHOK F
IPC: G01D5/14
Filed: 1999-02-02
Abstract: A seat belt buckle and latch indicating system employs a seat belt buckle (20) with a Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) sensor (46) spaced from a magnet (50) above a gap through which a ferromagnetic latch (26) protrudes. The latch may reside at three distinct positions: unlatched, latched, and latched without the presence of a hasp. The latch functions as a magnetic field concentrator with the result that the sensed magnetic field is dependent on latch position. The GMR sensor provides a signal indicating the sensor is working at all times, and provides specific information based on physical positioning of the critical components of the belt and which indicates that the buckle is mated to the seat belt hasp (38).

Inventor: PAN WUN FANG
IPC: H01R33/18
Filed: 2000-11-30
Abstract: An electrical connection mechanism used in a miniature light bulb string mainly comprises a block or plug that can be inserted into the lower portion of a bulb holder shell. The block or plug is provided with a U-shaped conductor plate that presses against two opposite conductive terminals when it is seated in the shell to form an electrical connection between the terminals. Thus when one of the light bulbs is in malfunction, electrical current in the miniature light bulb string still can be maintained.

Title: Determination du nombre d'ions total dans un spectrometre de masse a resonance cyclotronique d'ions par resonance magnetron d'ions
Inventor: BEU STEVEN C
IPC: H01J49/38
Filed: 1999-05-24
Abstract: L'invention concerne la détermination du nombre total d'ions créés ou obtenus lors d'une ionisation ou d'un événement d'introduction d'ions dans un spectromètre de masse à résonance cyclotronique d'ions par transformée de Fourier, soit par une technique expérimentale en résonance ou par une technique expérimentale hors résonance. Les deux techniques exploitent le mouvement magnétron d'ions. Dans la technique en résonance, on excite le spectromètre en mode magnétron et on détecte le signal de résonance unique résultant de cette excitation pour déterminer le nombre total d'ions. Dans la technique hors résonance, on excite le mode magnétron à une fréquence proche de la fréquence du magnétron tout en détectant simultanément le déplacement d'ions en découlant. La technique hors résonance laisse la population d'ions dans un état permettant d'effectuer une analyse ultérieure.

Title: Method for writing arbitrary index perturbations on a waveguide
Inventor: BRENNAN JAMES F III
IPC: G02B6/34
Filed: 1999-06-15
Abstract: A method and an apparatus for writing arbitrary refractive index perturbatio ns along an optical waveguide. The method includes the steps of providing a waveguide having a photosensitive region and providing a writing beam of actinic radiation having a nominal diameter D, the writing beam defining an optical axis. A waveguide is translated relative to the optical axis of the writing beam at a known velocity v(t). A modulator modulates the radiation intensity I(t) of the writing beam as a function of time t to deliver a fluence of radiation, .PHI.(x), directly to the waveguide, in equation (I). The refractive index change .DELTA.n(x) at a position x along the waveguide length is related to the fluence delivered to that position as, .DELTA.(x) =  C..PHI.n(x), wherein C is a scaling factor that accounts for the photosensitivity of the waveguide.

Abstract: This invention provides a system and apparatus with fine control over quantity and volume of water used, and current and charge used, to provide hydrogen and oxygen gas for other purposes. The system provides for control of temperature and pressure of the produced gas to provide separation of the two gases post-electrolysis, based upon the physical characteristics of hydrogen and oxygen at same pressure and temperature, where one is in a different phase from the other (that is, gas/liquid/solid phase or state), using simple mechanical means. The system also uses small piezo-electric crystals configured to perform a pumping function to deliver the water to the electrolytic means' electrodes, and optionally to collect the produced hydrogen and oxygen as a part of the separation means by providing a partial vacuum.

Abstract: A sensor in an engineering system (10) can be tested to detect, isolate and accommodate faults. Initially, a modeled sensor value (M) of each actual sensor value (S) is generated as a function of a plurality of other sensors. An absolute value of a difference between the actual sensor value (S) and the modeled sensor value (M) is then computed (14) and compared (16) to a predetermined threshold (T). A sensor fault is detected if the difference is greater than the predetermined threshold (T). Once a sensor fault is detected, it is isolated using hypothesis testing (22) and maximum wins strategies (26). After the fault is isolated (20), the fault is accommodated (22) by substituting the modeled sensor value (M) for the actual sensor value (S).
